Actually, RFC 1524 *does* specify the behaviour:

}   The configuration information will be obtained
}   from the FIRST matching entry in a mailcap file, where "matching"
}   depends on both a matching content-type specification, an entry
}   containing sufficient information for the purposes of the application
}   doing the searching, and the success of any test in the "test="
}   field, if present.
